Hello
I am living in Lima Peru but I was born and raised in the USA. I am going to drive from lima to Washington state early next year, 2016.
I currently own a Mitsubishi Mirage, but will sell it to buy a SUV to make the trip. My dilemma or question is this, I can buy a 1998 to 2005 Pathfinder or Terrano here, several available for sale, I want a Turbo diesel gearshift 4x4, but the problem is Pathfinders nearly all have the gas motor with 5-speed and the Terranos are Turbo Diesel with automatics. Does anybody know if the auto transmissions are ok? or something I should check out before buying one, during the test drive. There are very few diesel with manual gearbox combos so I will try to get one of those, just dont want to needlessly limit my choices.
Cheers
